The group announced "Operation Fullerton" Friday in an attempt to get the city and Orange County District Attorney to take action against the six cops who used deadly force against the 37-year-old after being called to the Fullerton Transportation Center July 5 based on reports that someone was breaking into cars.

ABC7 reported last night that the city was making preparations for the attack. Even so there was speculation that a well-organized move to take down the police department's website could affect its servers on a deeper level and even cause disruptions to the city's 911 system.
